Additional Resources

The DISCs Project Self-Assessment Tool is intended to help users gauge their own levels of competence and comfort in the themes of gender-consciousness, interculturalism, and community both in their individual pedagogical practices and wider academic engagements. It should take about 15 minutes to complete the tool, but this may vary depending on how much time you need to think about the statements posed. Based on your assessment, you will be provided with useful readings and resources to help you further explore these issues.

5 Elementary Strategies Elementary school is a time ripe for these discussions. Provided that teachers have the right tools and resources and use
developmentally appropriate language and activities, teaching about these concepts can be rich and engaging for children, laying the groundwork for
more sophisticated understanding when they move into the tween and teen years.
